Answer 1

Do you have an Internet Service Provider?
Or you mean to connect your router to a LAN?
Connection to the net is either via LAN (net connected), Telephone Company broadband (uses signal splitter), or Cable DSL
You dial to your provider which is your domain server. through which your router serving as a gateway dials into.
Same as setting up a website... or you end up connecting simple LAN/VPN. Where your computers can ID among themselves. but not surf into the net. Try the MS interactive help.menu and understand the host and client configuration that must exist.



The Internet is a computer network made up of thousands of networks worldwide. No one knows exactly how many computers are connected to the Internet. It is certain, however, that these number in the millions and are growing.

No one is in charge of the Internet. There are organizations which develop technical aspects of this network and set standards for creating applications on it, but no governing body is in control. The Internet backbone, through which Internet traffic flows, is owned by private companies.

All computers on the Internet communicate with one another using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite, abbreviated to TCP/IP. Computers on the Internet use a client/server architecture. This means that the remote server machine provides files and services to the user's local client machine. Software can be installed on a client computer to take advantage of the latest access technology.

An Internet user has access to a wide variety of services: electronic mail, file transfer, vast information resources, interest group membership, interactive collaboration, multimedia displays, real-time broadcasting, breaking news, shopping opportunities, and much more.

The Internet consists primarily of a variety of access protocols. Many of these protocols feature programs that allow users to search for and retrieve material made available by the protocol.

It could be a little confusing. I went through the same thing, using a wireless router to connect a lap top and a desk top to the same Internet connection. There is a simple way to get the job done, depending on the brand of the router- call the toll-free customer service and they will walk you through the process. (you probably thought of that already). I

t's probably a simple thing that has been overlooked.
